Error message extract from SAP system. Copyright SAP SE.
The SAP error message CP223, which states "Table access using invalid index (&)," typically occurs when there is an issue with accessing a table in the SAP system using an index that is not valid. This can happen for various reasons, including:
Causes:
- Invalid Index Reference: The index being referenced does not exist or is out of range for the table being accessed.
- Data Consistency Issues: There may be inconsistencies in the data that lead to invalid references.
- Program Logic Errors: The ABAP code may have logical errors that lead to incorrect index calculations or references.
- Table Structure Changes: If the structure of the table has changed (e.g., fields added or removed), existing code may reference indices that are no longer valid.
- Buffer Issues: Sometimes, issues with the SAP buffer can lead to unexpected behavior when accessing tables.
Solutions:
- Check Index Validity: Review the code to ensure that the index being used to access the table is valid. Ensure that it falls within the range of existing indices for that table.
- Debugging: Use the ABAP debugger to step through the code and identify where the invalid index is being referenced. This can help pinpoint the exact location of the error.
- Review Table Structure: If there have been recent changes to the table structure, ensure that the code accessing the table has been updated accordingly.
- Data Consistency Check: Run consistency checks on the data to ensure that there are no corrupt entries or inconsistencies that could lead to invalid index references.
- Buffer Refresh: If you suspect that the issue may be related to the SAP buffer, consider refreshing the buffer or clearing it to see if that resolves the issue.
- Error Handling: Implement error handling in the code to gracefully manage situations where an invalid index might be encountered.

If the issue persists after trying the above solutions, it may be beneficial to consult with an SAP Basis or ABAP developer for further assistance.

SAP messages fall into 3 different categories: Error messages
(message type = E), Warnings (W) or Informational (I) messages.
An error message will prevent you from continuing your work - it is a hard stop and you need to fix the error before you can proceed. A warning message will stop your work, however, you can then bypass the warning by pressing the Enter key on your keyboard. That said, it is still good practice to investigate the cause of the warning message and address it. An information message will not stop your work and is truly just for informational purposes.
